I was out driving around last week and noticed this tree laying in someone’s lawn. It is a prime example of what can happen when a tree is improperly planted. You can see in the second photo, the red line is the depth at which the tree should’ve been planted at and the blue line is the depth that it was planted at. One of the reactions a tree has after being planted too deep is growing adventitious roots, which you can see circled in red in the third picture. Adventitious roots are a mechanism of survival for a tree when the main root system is compromised, such as being buried too deep. You will also see, circled in blue in the last picture, is an encircling root. If the excess soil had been removed from the root flare of this tree during planting, that encircling root could have been found and pruned appropriately. Encircling roots will girdle and eventually kill a tree.
What’s the lesson here? Don’t plant your trees too deep!!!!

If you have smaller ornamental trees that you can reach to shake/brush/blow the snow off of, get your winter gear on (you know that gear that we didn’t use for the last four months) and try to get as much snow off your trees that you can!!!
